Overwatch |OT9| There is no Cow Hero

Soloq is always bad. Had a good defense on hanamura point a, but of course our team chooses a garbage comp for our attack and we can't get 30%.

I think it was genji, zen, widow, Rein, Zarya so I went Lucio and did nothing. The defense wasn't even cheese, as straightforward as possible we just constantly did nothing.

The main problem is where your team doesnt know how the flank paths and get stuck on the big door waititng for your tank to move

Anyone want to play HoTS for the Overwatch items? I don't have any friends that have any interest in playing HoTS. :|

There are lots of randoms spaming help for the event on the main chat, add one, sent invite and you are go to go

i'm down to 2279 so if we group up i can drag the opposing team SR down to the depths :)

Quick play...every game.....5 dps and 1 healer. Everytime. Platinum messages me saying Roadhog is OP....yes, running out with 6 squishes without a tank makes him so OP. God I love it.

People who say roadhog is OP are most likely lower ranks where communication is ass.

You can add me, i hate HOTS but what can we do.

I've been playing Lucio as an almost offense/DPS style character and it is really working for me in the 2100s. Using speed boost a lot more to evade attacks and chase/kill loners. Have also had some success in speedboosting into a chunk of enemies and booping to scatter them and open up opportunities for our dps to pick people off. And of course, I am filling in duties as a healer.

So far I'm at 14-5 with Lucio this season using these strats. I'm sure this won't work as I continue to climb but it's a lot of fun so far.

Honestly, that comp is not the problem. Not really great, but certainly workable if the Widow has some competence.

Yeah I've been playing Roadhog a lot for months and while the versatility with his accuracy buff is nice, the hook distance change and increased cooldown reduced his bullshit factor significantly. He's a much easier ult feeder for a lot of characters now.
DO you do this JUST for winston? He's probably my best character if I had to pick one but I haven't messed around with the new smoothing options yet, not really sure where to start
Yeah, like I said though I should probably turn smoothing up a bit because it is a bit silly how it is now, but overall Winston definitely needs to have high sens at least, low smoothing works out well with him too though because it makes it easier to control leaps. That's why I wanted to mess around with D.Va too but I'm too shitty of an aimer to turn her sens up too much or her smoothing down too low. Maybe lowish sensitivity and low smoothing for her so I can get precision aim through small adjustments but then be able to do large turns quickly? idk I'll have to ask/mess around with it.

There was no competence, like my next game where we again only needed one tic of Hollywood point a but they went dive comp, Sombra, tracer, Winston, Lucio, genji.

Winston flanked while tracer immediately died on point.

Why are you doing solo Q? We warned you.

I don't recommend it.

I've been getting a lot of Hanamura defenses where someone picks a Rein and then nobody else will go to the gate with him except for me with Symmetra.

Then they wonder where the teleporter is when we get overrun immediately.
 
Played 5 games of HotS in order to get the Genji skin.

Honestly, not as bad of an experience as I was expecting. Bonus points for my 2013 MacBook Air being able to handle it.

Ok, so after almost a year of trying, I finally unlocked the "Lockdown" trophy/achievement. How did I do it? By losing a competitive match on Hanamura. The enemy team only needed to capture 50% of the first point to win, and for whatever reason that's what it took for the trophy to unlock. Pretty ridiculous conditions.

I've won countless matches since launch that fulfill the supposed conditions listed in the trophy's description, yet this is what it took to actually get it. Either the description is way off, or it's been bugged since launch.

been putting a bigger focus on my mcCree anyone have any pointers. Not new with him or anything just maybe some pointers I havent thought about to get better.
 
weird question but does anyone else on console rest their pointer fingers on the triggers and keep their middle fingers off completely? I realized a few weeks ago other people kept their middle fingers on the triggers and their index fingers on the shoulder buttons and that's probably easier in general, but especially in OW when playing Genji (at least with my button setup). My only issue is I've been playing since the late PS1 era and I guess have apparently always held my controllers like that because it's more comfortable for me, idk how to unlearn that or if I should even bother.
 
So the event ends on May 1st, so I have 2 more days to play for some skins.. but I might just say screw it and use the $15 I have on PSN and add $5 and buy some boxes. I did not get any good skins. Just 3 legendary Tjorb skins.

I just want Genji...and Mercy..and McCree...and Tracer..and Mercy.


I also have 6k of coins to buy stuff.

I've gotten a total of 6 legendary Torb skins from this event. 4 from leveling, 2 from the 25 lootboxes I just opened...I swear the Tor skin has a higher drop rate smh

I got the Widow skin and then just said screw it and bought the Genji skin. I have enough for McCree or Mercy (I have 5k coins).

I really want the Genji player icon. Do you know if it will be locked out after this event. I wish you could just buy player icons.

Same here. I've always used my pointer fingers on both shoulder buttons, but didn't realize it until someone brought it up here a few months ago.
I tried to learn the other way, but fat-fingered too much, so went back.

lmao got my first hate mail today. Cant screenshot it but it basically went like this:

Him: When you realize Bastion heals more than the damage for genji ult

Me: yeah its dumb

Him: broken characters for noob people

Me: lol okay

Him: pussy

Me: why were chasing me with the ult tho
I was kind of shutting down their team but they didn't have a healer. i think is mad about the time ulted and he was the only one on point (i thought there were more people)

Had some really awesome matches yesterday. felt like a god.
14 elims (gold), 0 deaths, and PotG as Widow on Gibralter Attack. Later played Lucio on KotH maps, went 5-2. was getting gold elims and flying through the air, getting behind the enemy team and taking out the mercy, probably blew their minds, O hi there Pharah, probably didnt expect to see me up here, pew pew, now you're dead, I rule the skies.

Anyone up for HotS matches to get the Genji skin?

Badge of honor. Dude complains about "noob" heroes but he couldn't kill them?

Mercy is my favorite character until I become a doomfist main. Also reaper.

We probably need to make sure larger groups have dps people in them and not as a last resort, I think we always do worse when our group is full of support/tank mains because we can get randoms who are the same.
